  Hi, I think I have done something wrong when I tried to reconnect to Facebook, as now i get asked if I want to connect to Warrandyte Toy Library (I am an admistrator) and not my news feed. Can I change this? Thank you. Kirsty

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Can you please provide details on how you’re trying to connect to Facebook? Is it through the JetPack Publicize feature, or are you referring to a widget option, or are you using a social share plugin, or something else?

  Thank you,
  Tanya :-)

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to connect to a personal Facebook profile any more. Facebook removed that option on 1 August. Connections that were made before 1 August will no longer work, and it’s not possible to create a new connection to a profile any more, only to pages.

  There’s a sticky post at the top of the forums announcing this change: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/publicize-changes/

  We also posted about it on the WordPress.com blog: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2018/07/23/sharing-options-from-wordpress-com-to-facebook-are-changing/

  This is a change Facebook made, so there is nothing we can do about it.
